javascript add date compare code example

Example 1: how to compare dates js

const x = new Date('2013-05-22');
const y = new Date('2013-05-23');

// less than, greater than is fine:
console.log('x < y', x < y); // false
console.log('x > y', x > y); // false
console.log('x === y', x === y); // false, oops!

// anything involving '=' should use the '+' prefix
// it will then compare the dates' millisecond values
console.log('+x <= +y', +x <= +y); // true
console.log('+x >= +y', +x >= +y); // true
console.log('+x === +y', +x === +y); // true

if (myDate < yourDate) {
  console.log("myDate is less than yourDate"); // will be printed
}
if (myDate > yourDate) {
  console.log("myDate is greater than yourDate");
}
